Observing directly what goes on throughout this body and mind, and

refusing to live blindly under the constant influence of conditioning

and belief.

Seeing clearly that unless there is open awareness this moment, now,

mind/body functions mechanically, habitually, according to ingrained

patterns and influences.

Realizing that it is not possible to respond wholeheartedly to people

and ever changing situations if there is inattention and recoil into

the dream of an independent self.

Without careful attention, ancient or newly acquired programs react

immediately and compulsively, and create the conflict of presumed

separation.

Gracefully, when what is going on right now reveals itself "as it

is" --not just mind thinking or speculating about it but looking and

listening directly, quietly -- the energy to attend to it is there.

Habitual baggage drops away when This reveals Itself, without the

effort to manipulate outcomes for some desired result.

Obviously, everything done, felt, thought, said, resisted or

repressed uses energy. Conflict uses up energy. Wanting something

other than what is, without clear awareness of that fact, consumes

energy. Thinking of a desired goal and straining body and mind to

attain it takes energy. Sometimes, often, it happens at the expense

of being intimately in touch with what is actually present, right

now, without any resistance or struggle to change it.

The energy of attention is there when the mind pauses to wonder about

itself and all of the Mystery -- listening quietly,

nonselfcenteredly, without the demand of knowing – and falls

naturally into the Aware Space in Which it arises and dissolves.
